1. metro state acc BSN program

   darlanow replied to coopsc1's topic in Colorado

   If the 5 extra credits you're referring to are not nursing classes (i.e. upper division electives or religion classes), I'd definitely recommend taking them elsewhere! Red Rocks Community College has a number of weekend religious study programs tha...

2. Regis University CHOICE BSN program

   darlanow replied to committedtonursing's topic in School Programs

   Hi potential Regis CHOICE students - I'm currently finishing my first year in the program and would be glad to answer questions, give tips, etc. but would rather do so by phone (too much to type!). email me privately and I'll give you my phone number...

   I'm a nursing student (when do I ever get to sleep again??!) with a 20 year history as a clincial social worker. Because of school, I'm only doing my private practice right now, but have worked either full- or part-time with agencies for most of my ...

5. Nursing Students... Did you take....

   darlanow replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

   Ditto to what the poster above me said: the time investment to take med term before beginning school is definitely worth it. I used a book that had a CD-rom with it full of exercises and, more importantly, an audio glossary. It's helpful to not on...

7. Regis CHOICE program question

   darlanow replied to Melina's topic in Colorado

   I love the wink about the cost... There's a commercial out right now on the radio that says something like, "And Regis is not as expensive as you'd think..." Even my daughter (age 10) now replies to it (something like, "Oh huh" or "what are those p...

8. Plan B

   darlanow replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   I am all for people (men, women, gay, straight...) enjoying sex AND being responsible. To me, that means using birth and STD control methods, which could include condoms, BC pills, the sponge, IUDs etc. and Plan B. Might some people use these thing...

    I, too, am in a state of anticipation (the positive kind) about starting Regis...I'm in the CHOICE program (nights and weekends for 2 years) starting in less than 3 weeks and I CAN'T WAIT!!! I got the list of things to do in early June (approx. 2.5 m...

12. opinions about epidurals

    darlanow replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my daughter without any medications after 29 hours of labor and would do it again. Like one of the above posters, I liked being in touch with all of it; I felt in constant communication with my body and the baby. Yes, it was the most pain I'v...

14. any other students trying to lose weight?

    darlanow replied to allthingsbright's topic in Stress 101

    Darla checking in... down 1.8 lb, but that may be b/c period over rather than any excellent work on my part. I have been watching portions and asking myself, "Are you really hungry or eating for another reason?" I had a religion paper to write (pre...

15. Background check/drug screen before clinicals

    darlanow replied to RANCH GIRL's topic in General Students

    For my program (Regis, Denver CO), not only was a background check required, but a physical and, of course, those immunization cards. Since I was born in the dark ages before parents kept such tidy records, I've had to do a bit of sleuth work, along...
